Fruits Basket Season 2 Episode 12
Talk about unexpected! When I heard that this week's episode would actually be focusing outside of our main cast I was worried that I would be uninterested in the story but I really should know better cause this is Fruits Basket after all! I was never all that interested in Hatori's backstory either of the times I heard it whether it was in the 2001 version or season 1 of this version but somehow hearing it again but from Mayu's point of view was low key fascinating. Mayu is Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki's current homeroom teacher and Kana's best friend and Shigure's ex though from what we see this week, she and Shigure weren't entirely dating for real. The more important thing to note is that she also was in love with Hatori for a while which she never acted on cause he was with Kana and honestly the way she went about the whole thing was just so sweet. She never once (even now) expected Hatori to love her back. All she wanted was for him to be happy whether that was with Kana or someone else entirely. What's funny for me is that she really just highlighted the fact that the Sohmas all fall for the same type of person, the kind of person who pities them and wants happiness for them. Between Tohru, Uo, and now Mayu, it's clear that the Sohmas who have had nothing but Akito's fake love yearn for kindness and true love. It's also interesting to note that the woman that Hatori was walking with a few weeks back wasn't actually his girlfriend but Hiro's mom who was getting a check up and must have found out she was pregnant at that time.
Stargirl Season 1 Episode 6
This was a super fun episode and every week I'm just honestly so impressed with this show cause I originally was expecting to watch a show that was a mix between Titans and Supergirl with cheesy writing and over-the-top messages but this show has heart and I can't help but wonder why of all the shows on the DC Universe app it's literally only Titans that has a hot mess of a writing staff since every other show is good! I kind of adore how much Courtney respects and looks up to Pat now compared to how she disliked him at the start of the show cause it clearly hurt her to have Pat disappointed in her and she did try to listen to him when he told her to get the JSA costumes back from the others though of course the other kids didn't want to listen. I'm still iffy about Beth but I adore our team so far and I low key loved how Courtney got a taste of her own medicine when the others refused to listen to her and dove into fights not knowing what the stakes were. I did wonder if the show was going to brush off the fact that none of these kids should really have held their own in a fight against the ISA so I'm glad that Pat said that they'll need training. I suppose between Courtney's gymnastic skills, Yolanda's boxing training, and Rick's general bad boy fighting that they've got a good starting point. As a sidebar if you're counting, week 6 and I still don't know what the ISA's big plan is. We've now stolen satellite tech and some codes from a communications company but then what?
FINISHED Tower Of God Episode 13
Though this episode was the finale for the season, it was also a flashback episode in which we finally saw why Rachel is the way that she is and what she had been through since she and Bam parted ways. I'm not sure if it was meant to make us sympathize with her or not but either way it really just made me despise Rachel more. Her problems is that she's an insecure whiny child who was jealous of how Bam was able to make friends and shine in this Tower rather than suffering quietly like she did in the background and this sort of character always drives me crazy cause it's like it's not that the other person is greater, it's that you're too dark inside. The Tower guardian himself told you that cruelty is leaking from your every pore. The worst thing about all this is that she managed to convince everyone but Khun (he's the best boy after all) that Bam was killed by the bull and that they should help her climb the Tower to honor Bam when it's like she could barely care less about him. As a sidebar, are we supposed to believe that the test allowed them to jump to the top of the Tower or that it was just a test to allow Rachel to continue climbing despite her fake injury? I'm also still unclear about what the Tower wants with Bam cause as we see now it meant to bring Bam and not Rachel making him a Regular not an Irregular. Yu wants something from Bam too with how he sent Hwaryun to test him separately and at the end we see her approach Bam and say that she'll train him so that he can climb the Tower. Maybe they're all hoping that Bam can defeat the previous King of Jahad and make himself the new one? Either way when the next season of this show comes out, I'll be right back here!
Agents Of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 5
This week's episode was low on humor, high on stakes and all in all totally insane!! For the first time this season, it finally started to feel like our SHIELD agents might be a little over their heads! The Chronicoms have always been kind of a hard sell for this show to make in order to convince us that they're really as bad as the characters on this show say they are but this week it was pretty clear where their strengths lie! Because they can't age, the Chronicoms could stay in the past and help Hydra speed up their evil plans by building Project Insight in the 70s rather than during Captain America: Winter Soldier but more importantly their seer can basically predict every move SHIELD will make before they make it. I can't see how our team can win unless we get to their ship and blow everything up thus killing most of the Chronicoms so that even if their minds are stored elsewhere, the ship computer will be destroyed too. In other news I'm almost fairly certain now that the Jemma we've been traveling around with is a LMD but unlike Coulson, she doesn't know she's an LMD which begs the question: where are the real Fitz and Simmons? Did they somehow fall into the past and spent a lifetime trying to figure out time travel only to be too old to use it for themselves? If that was the case, why not have a Fitz LMD too?
Next week's promo shows us that our team is going to officially be attacking the Chronicoms rather than playing defense. It is too early in the season for a win though so I can't see things going well.
FINISHED Harley Quinn Season 2 Episode 13
So this was the finale for season 2 and a possible finale for this show in general though low key I doubt that since I've heard nothing but positive reviews for this show so DC would be crazy to cancel it. Ivy and Kiteman's wedding was on but of course it couldn't go down cause Ivy and Harley belong together so Jim decided it would be totally heroic and awesome if he crashed their wedding and arrested all the supervillains who were attending. Harley found out from Two-Face that this was happening so she tried to stop Jim but actually just made herself look desperate in front of everyone else so in the end the wedding was ruined and Kiteman let Ivy go cause he could see that Ivy didn't actually want to marry him but was scared to leave cause her future with Harley was even more nebulous. I wasn't the hugest fan of this finale tbh cause it wasn't funny or dramatic but then again it's hard to compete with season 1's finale!
